Nation Run High
NEW YORK, July 3 (UP)—
War news from Korea, and fears
that the conflict might spread,
kept cotton futures hobbling up
and down over wide limits last
week.
After live days of hectic fluc-
tuations, tin- list at Friday’s
close ruled 19 to 32 -points—95
cents to $1.95 a bale—higher
than the previous week.
The convulsive action of the
stock market diverted attention
at times, hut generally buyers
reasoned that in the event of
extended fighting in the Orient,
cotton would become an in-
creasingly strong worldwide
strategic commodity.
Statisticians pointed out that
the United States will he virtu-
ally the only country with an ex-
portable surplus. China’s produc-
tion has been whittled down
sharply because of civil strife. A
shortage exists in India, while
the Brazilian surplus, because
of a poor crop outlook, is expect-
ed to he small.
While the American crop is
doing fairly well, particularly
since the recent advent of
weevil-killing temperatures in
many areas of the south, the
planted acreage, under govern-
ment controls, will he about 20
per cent less than last year at
21,750,000 acres. These experts
warned that “anything can hap-
pen on such a small acreage be-
fore the crop is harvested”.
Meanwhile, exports ran at the
heaviest rate for any week so
far this season Estimates were
that clearances for the season
would approximate 5,500,000
hales against 1,748,000 bales
shipped in the previous season.
June Busy Month
for Police Force
June reports of the police de
purtmeiit showed a total of SL-
OE in fines with 27 moving
traffic violations and 157 park
ing violations.
There were 272 radio calls
to police cars, 70 prisoners han-
dled in the city jail. 11 trans-
ferred to county Jail, 2 trans-
ferred out of the county, 1
juvenile handled in city jail.
Candidates Busy
For 4th Holiday
AUSTIN, July 3, (UP)
Vote-hungry candidates unfurl-
ed their |K>litical banners to-
day as they vied for the at-
tention of holidaying Texans
bent on celebrating the 4th of
July weekend.
Absentee balloting, a curtain-
raiser for last-stretch campaign-
ing in the first primary, Iregan
Monday. However, observance
of tile Sabbath was expected to
postpone most voting until to-
day.
A scant three weeks remain-
ed until election day—July 22.
Gov. Allan Shivers, who has
campaigned more than 14,000
miles in the last four months,
announced four days of travel
tor next week.
He will divide his 4th of
July lietween a Junior Chamber
of Commerce celebration at
Odessa, scheduled for rnidjlif-
ternoon, and a night rodeo per
formaline at Pecos.
Caso March, bidding for the
gubernatorial post, scheduled
a mid-morning 4th of July
speech at Aransas Pass.
Other candidates iiounded a
political circuit of rodeos, liar
becues and patriotic gatherings
that provided tailor-made aud-
iences with time to listen.
Persecution Of Church
Waged On Large Scale
VATICAN CITY, July 3 (UP)
More than 9,008 Catholic priests,
nuns and other church represen
tatives have been killed, arrest-
ed, deported or reported missing
behind the iron curtain in the I
past five years, church quarters
said today.
Yugoslavia: 1.954 priests kill-
ed. reported arrested or deport-
ed.
The Catholic action report said
that in many iron curtain coun-
tries the Catholic Church had
ceased to exist because of vari-
ous devices, including establish-
ment of state churches.
It said persecution of religion,
I>lns Communist efforts to set up
“national churches.” were im-
portant factors behind Pope Pius'
new excommunication decree,
announced over the weekend.
The decree imposed major ex-
communication on persons who
undermined Vatican - approved
Catholic authorities or who as-
sumed church office without Vat-
ican approval.
Delas Reeves Is -
Pleased With His'
New State Work
Former County Judge Deias
Reeves who recently assumed his
new duties as business manager
of the State School for the Deaf
in Austin, spent the weekend
here.
Reeves said he is well pleas-
ed with his new job and enjoy-
ing the work. “The first thing I
had to learn was the sign lan-
guage,” he said. "1 didn’t think
this would be necessary but 1
discovered 1 was being left out of
so many things that even the lit-
tle tots understood.”
He said that one of the lads
who was teaching him the sign
language played a g<x>d joke on
him the first day. He told Reeves
that a movement of two fingers
across the left side of the fate in
front of the ear mean "I am
glad to have met you.”
When Judge Reeves was intro-
duced to a large group of young-
sters at the table, he gave the
sign and all of the youngsters
exploded in laughter. He learn-
ed later this sign actually meant
"go to blazes.”
Judge Reeves returned to Aus
tin Monday afternoon. Mrs.
Reeves, who is still maintaining
tier home here, went to Austin
Friday with Mr. and Mrs. Ernest
Odor, returned here with Mr.
Reeves Saturday.
